“I go to a lot of theatre in New York where I live and this is one of the best things I’ve ever seen here!” – Ira Glass, NPR

“New York Times Critics’ Pick! Bedlam’s delightful SENSE & SENSIBILITY is a MUST-SEE SHOW that expands and magnifies Austen’s delicate comic worldview without cracking a single teacup. An enchanting romp of a play. You’ll be surprised by the riotous laughter, and equally likely to find yourself shedding discreet tears. This production is a triumphant joy in giving such defiantly theatrical form to a literary narrative.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

BEDLAM’s past critically acclaimed productions are enjoying runs across the country. Houston’s Stark Naked Theatre presented the award winning BEDLAM production of SAINT JOAN, directed by Eric Tucker from June 3 through June 18, 2016. BEDLAM returned to Boston’s Central Square Theater following last season’s SAINT JOAN, with director Eric Tucker’s TWELFTH NIGHT and What You Will, one play, two completely different ways, with the same five actors from the original New York production, which ran from June 9 through July 10, 2016. The McCarter Theater Center in Princeton, NJ has announced they will be presenting BEDLAM’s HAMLET and SAINT JOAN in repertory from January 13, 2017 through February 12, 2017.

Committed to the immediacy of the relationship between the actor and the audience, Bedlam creates works of theatre that reinvigorate traditional forms in a flexible, raw space, collapsing aesthetic distance and bringing its viewers into direct contact with the dangers and delicacies of life. In this new, fresh, active environment storytelling becomes paramount and the result is a kinetic experience of shared empathy.
